"William brings so much to the table. He is not only an incredible musician, with excellent and eclectic taste, he is also dedicated, patient, and always looking at the big picture question: does it serve the overall film? I am so grateful for the elegance, emotion, clarity - and so much more - that he brought to FOOD EVOLUTION, and I look forward to working with him again."

Scott Hamilton Kennedy, Academy Award-nominated Director

"I’ve known and worked with William for over 10 years. From haunting piano melodies to beautiful vibrant orchestrations, this very talented musician is your man."

Hugh Padgham, Multi-Grammy Award-winning Producer and Engineer (Sting, XTC, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel)

"William Kingwood is that rarest of finds, a schooled musician adept with an orchestra who can also shred on guitar. Equally at home writing horn arrangements for jazz pieces as he is among the shifting harmonics of Sonic Youth style guitar swirl, he’s an intelligent, creative, supremely capable guy. That’s why he’s one of my favorite composers for film and other visual media, his only limitations come from the ones you place on him, and if you’re smart, you keep those to a minimum. You hire him for some cinematic music and then find yourself trying to figure out how you can form a band with him even when he lives in a different city."

Carl Peel, Vice President of Music Production, Universal PPM

"I’ve worked with William on my personal projects for 25 years. His cinematic ear for character, tone and structure have been the orchestral and emotional foundation to many of the short films I’ve produced. He’s a trusted collaborator, an inspirational talent and a great friend."

Mark Sanger, Academy Award-winning Editor and Director

"William breaks the mold of your typical composer. He is original, creative and possesses a great intuition about what the director needs."

Roger Ross Williams, Academy Award-winning Director

"We’ve found William to be an excellent and versatile composer of music for documentary, film and instrumental underscores in many styles. Will is equally at home with extensive orchestral arrangements, small ensembles and current raging rock. His music is creative, inspiring and very well crafted with excellent production value. A great addition to make any project a success."

Ken Nelson, Senior VP/Executive Producer, Universal Music

"After collaborating on at least six projects in the last decade I more then ever marvel at William's ability in using sound to extract the essence from any given material or to improvise, adapt and shed light on different aspects throughout the collaboration process. He has proven to be an invaluable and patient collaborator bridging the discourse between art, architecture, sound art and contemporary music composition."

Tobias Putrih, Artist, Lecturer at MIT

"Working with William is always such a pleasure. He’s one of those guys that not only understands the musical aspects of a song, but also knows his way around a studio and utilizes the equipment to be able to capture the sounds he’s looking for."

Chris Sclafani, Grammy-nominated Engineer and Producer (Ed Sheeran, Justin Bieber, The Weeknd)

"William is a very talented composer and a pleasure to work with."

Greg Townley, Producer/Engineer (Sideways, Blackhawk Down, Hans Zimmer, Alicia Keys)
